We are a small independent rescue who are mainly self funding. We are predominantly a cat rescue but also help small animals like rodents and reptiles, space and foster homes permitting. Our rescue work began after we took in three feral kittens who had fallen from a roof top. Their mum called Blackwell had given birth to them in a place where they would never have been safe. After they had fallen we had no choice but to take the kittens in and get them to the vets. After all veterinary treatment and a bit of love and feeding up the trio appeared to be doing well. We named these babies Jonny, Iris and Bob. As time passed we noticed the kittens were not doing as well as they should be, a trip to the vet revealed that the three kittens had suffered severe neurological injuries. Unfortunately it was advised that the best thing was to let them go. Although this is a sad ending it inspired us to help other animals in an official capacity and was the beginning of Wallington Animal Rescue.

No Cage Policy

We have a strict no cage policy for cats and dogs unless there is a medical need for them to be on cage rest and so we rely on our amazing fosterer's to help home the animals whilst we look for their perfect homes, we also have specifically designed cat rooms for the cats that stay here at the rescue. The rooms have been designed to encourage fun and stimulation whilst giving the cats plenty of places to relax and feel secure.

We have recently completed our second cat room make over and are thrilled with the results,Just a few final touches to go and we will be there. Many thanks to Martin Hudson for the brilliant design and construction, thank you very much to Carshalton Round Table for the grant to enable us to be able to do it.
